web query as background activity
Hello there,
I have the following question: I have a spreadsheet where I query an external web page for data (say 15 different queries). I set to refresh/re-query the data every 10 minutes (or similar). The problem is that when the refresh time comes it takes some time and whole spreadsheet is out of action. User can not do anything but wait. I would expect that getting external data should run as a background activity allowing the user to scroll, modify ect. the spreadsheet.. Is there any way around? I did not use a code to query the webpage just the option in the menu. Thank you |

thusly: I set to refresh/re-query the data every 10 minutes (or similar). The problem is that when the refresh time comes it takes some time and whole spreadsheet is out of action. User can not do anything but wait. I would expect that getting external data should run as a background activity [. . . .] Go to Data / Import External Data / External Data Range Properties and tick the checkbox "Enable background refresh." =dman= |
